I was having this same issue on Pop_OS 22.04 running wayland. I was able to resolve it by running Houdini with the following command:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/hfs19.5.303/bin/houdini
Just replace the "hfs19.5.303" with whatever version you are trying to actually run. I also just learned that as of QT5.11 you can set a fallback of x11 as well in case wayland isn't working via:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"
